We're Hiring Teachers! Join our team of highly trained, dedicated early educators.

Children in our Head Start programs build literacy, math, and social skills with the support of well-trained teachers and an engaging curriculum. We promote school readiness by meeting children’s emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs.

For the families of the children we serve, we recognize you as our equal partner and your child's first and most important teacher. Our Family Advocates work in partnership with families to provide individualized support and referrals. Family Advocates provide support to services such as housing, food insecurity, education, employment, healthcare, and transportation.
